Marvel Vs Capcom 3: New Characters DLC Release Date for Xbox 360, PS3

Earlier on we informed you about further hints about new DLC characters appearing in Marvel Vs Capcom 3, but now we have a release date for the confirmed DLC characters which will be releasing for the Xbox 360 and PS3 soon.

The two characters are Jill Valentine and Shuma Gorath. You’ll probably be familar with Jill, since she’s a main character in the Resident Evil video games and movies, but you may not know about Shuma Gorath – an alien creature taken from the Marvel comics and previously featured in old Marvel Vs Capcom games.

If you bought the special edition of MvC3, you’ll be able to use your DLC redemption code on March 15th from the Xbox Live Marketplace, or March 16th from the PlayStation store. If you have the normal version of the game though, Valentine and Shuma Gorath will be available for 400 Microsoft points or $5, as reported from Eurogamer.

Will you be paying the money for these extra characters or not? It’s a shame that Capcom didn’t excite us with more ‘glamorous’ characters for the very first character DLC pack. Let’s hope they include some better characters for the next batch. Let us know your thoughts on the Jill Valentine / Shuma Gorath pack.

Check out a gameplay video showing both characters below. There’s a move list here too if you need it.
